Fun Topic. Our generation's perception in the future

[RCBH928]

Another fun topic(Topics to discuss and laugh at)
Sorry the title might be misleading as there is limit to characters.
But...

How do you think future generations will look back at us?
We always look back at the older generation and how like in the 20'-30's your average looks is a guy with a hat cleanly shaved with slick hair, every one is a gentleman, and they have a way of speaking I can't copy but I see in the older movies.

The 50's Horror movies.Then you got the 60's with hippie look and peace. The 70's with tight trouser , I am guessing a lot of drugs, big afros. 80's must be worst style ever with a big hair, leather jackets(and videogames )

I tried a lot to think of how future generation will look back at us and think WOW that is so 90's or 2000'ish, but I can't identify any single style or icon. But I figured some:
-FPS being top genre in videogames(like platformers+fighters in 80's-90s)
-Rap music will be so over with gangsters singing
-Super Hero movies like Hulk and Spiderman
-Social networking sites I guess will be over or not so hot in the future(no more cellphones?)
-I guess DVDs is a big icon of this generation

Can you think of a single look or style that we will be identified by in the future?

A little comment that goes well with the topic
--------
I always looked at history and when I saw some one born on 1890 died 1945 I go WOAH that guy from last century the 1800's . He must be so old, he was like 25 in 1910!

I just realized being a 1984, in the year 2070 other kids will be tell me WOAH! That guy was born in the 1900's! He was like 20 when the date turn 2000! He must be old!

Remember how we go like" You were around when the World War 2 happened? "
I guess I will be getting "You were alive when September 11 happened "

I guess I will be getting jokes likes" He is so old, he was there before DVDs!! You are so old you played cartridge video games!"

damn

Self-serving, self-righteous, easily-entertained, fat, lazy, high, with an unjustifiable sense of entitlement. That's my generation, woooooo.

A toast to us!

I don't miss that sound, dial-up is a huge pain to keep connected for downloading.
My thoughts on this subject are this: already, there are kids who have never lived in a home with a VCR.

My GF's daughter watched me play ToeJam & Earl 3 last weekend. We had to explain to here what a "vinyl" was.

This.

I'm only 15 years old and I can see that with my generation. It's sickening. Worst part is im guilty of some of that stuff as well.

Agreed.

At least us few that actually understand and embrace retro tech know that getting off out asses to change cartridges or discs won't kill us. Plus how hard does the majority of my generation think it is to do half the crap we do every day?

For example: My sister would rather sit in her rooom in the dark than change her light bulb because it's too annoying for her to do it every few years, or how she leaves her laptop and it's cables either on the floor or strewn across a room because it's too cumbersome to wrap the AC up and stick it on her desk after browsing myspace for six hours and watching shitty rap videos on youtube.

Not to mention how pissed I get at people who text, follow fads, complain that controllers with wires are too cumbersome even though they sit three feet away from the screen, and idiots who abandon whatever tech or system they own simply because the new model is shinier regardless of functionality or quality of new content.

I think the biggest thing that the generation will be remembered for is the rise of acceptance of GLBT individuals in the community, speaking solely from a US perspective.

Never underestimate the power of shiny things.

I think the nineties' look can be summed up by Blossom:



and Clerks:



aaaand Mallrats:



I think our generation will just be lumped into the "Internet Wave" age, combining hippy-induced "New Wave" with slow to fast broadband speed.
